“Everything we’ve had at Sonny’s has been exceptional. Everyone is so friendly! Watch for Specials… Highly recommended, you won’t be disappointed!“

“My husband and I had our 1st meal inside the restaurant. We’d dined on the patio several times. We loved the ambiance inside. We began with the burrata appetizer-outstanding. I opted for the lamb chop special and my husband had the misto de mare, both were delicious. To finish our wonderful dinner, we had the lemoncello and mascarpone cake. Scrumptious!“

Huge thank you to my special granddaughter, Olivia for a wonderful birthday! Treat!“

“The staff is so kind and accommodating! Plenty of bread for the hungry kids brought out immediately! The veal parm was so good - love the marinara sauce and large portion! We enjoyed the crispy calamari, risotto and chicken piccata! Service is great!“

“Service is excellent and warm. Food is outstanding and delicious. Highly recommend to anyone who has a taste for authentic home made Italian cuisine! We’ll be back!“

“Food and service fantastic. They were running behind with reservations but they comped us drinks an an appetizer...which is pretty unheard of these days. Rachel, our server, was phenomenal, I liked her so much I even asked her to help me "customize" my pasta dish, which she happily did (and it turned out great! The lobster diavolo but with vodka sauce...keeping the spice level.) Caesar salad good but not traditional...and missing anchovies (I know, I'm weird. Very fresh ingredients though.) We were a party of 6 and everyone loved their food. Reasonable prices too. Will definitely be back! Only wish it weren't so cramped inside.“

“Everything we ordered, beef/sausage combo , baptized with giardinera + regular baptized beef with sweet peppers and an order of fries. The best!
Young man at the counter was very upbeat, genuine, and professional. He came to our table to help me download the new app and apply the points from my purchase. What a sweetheart.
The place was very well kept; clean, no napkins on the floor. Clean tables. Not like Port!//@$.“

“Villaggio Ristorante Dear Beto, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible experience my family and I had at Villaggio Ristorante for my daughter's wedding shower on May 18, 2025. From start to finish, every detail was handled with such care and professionalism. Your dedication to excellence shines through in every aspect of your restaurant. The service was impeccable—your staff was attentive, kind, and ensured that every guest felt welcomed and comfortable. And the food—absolutely exquisite! Every dish was prepared to perfection and left a lasting impression on everyone who attended. You truly go above and beyond for your guests, and it does not go unnoticed. This special day was made even more memorable because of the warmth and hospitality you and your team provided. Thank you again for everything. I will happily recommend Villaggio Ristorante to all my family and friends, knowing they will receive nothing but the best. Warm regards, Julie Loverdi“

“My husband and I owned a mobile Hot Dog Stand I ran it in Northwest Indiana. I sold Bari Beef Sandwiches. I was famous for my Beef sandwiches . I have and will always swear by Bari Beef!!!! We have moved all over the country the last 9 years and just moved to Bartlett Illinois. I just found out I live only 9.8 miles from Bari factory store …… I think I have died and gone to Heaven!!! On a side note. I had a deal for all new customers who questioned whether I had the best beef sandwiches. I told them “You buy my Beef sandwich and if you do t think it’s the best you have ever had I will give you your money back!” I have NEVER had to give anyone their money back!!! You are the best!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Incredible food, amazing service“

“Amazing pizza! Every ingredient and the tomato sauce was absolutely delicious. Will be ordering from here for my pizza dinner nights from now on!“

“What a stand out team thats making this phenomenal beef with love in their hearts for a good customer experience and interaction. Kristen was killing it on the floor, seemed like she knew every customer and had for years. People like Kristen and her crew don’t just appear out of thin air, come see for yourself…“

“We were there Friday night me and my best friend. The manager was exceptional. Food was on point like always.“

“Great meal white fish and Italian sausage the best ever , service also great“

“Wonderful place to dine., food was delicious and our server, Fidel, was thee BEST ever! Will definitely return when I’m in Illinois again.“

“What a surprise. This is no typical pizzeria!The chef knows his way around a kitchen. My Branzino was fantastic. Misto griglio appetizer was the best I've had. Other diners enjoyed veal, chicken and pasta. It's a beautiful modern restaurant with great food and attentive service. Go!“

“Best Italian restaurant in the world! Fantastic atmosphere“

“Great pizza right here, used to love Little Caesar’s now I changed to Pizza Now because the pizza is way better“

“Paisans is quickly becoming one of our favorite restaurants. The bbq chicken salad is my favorite salad in the area. It's hearty, large portion, and always consistent. If you're into chicken vesuvio you should get it here yum yum yum especially the potatoes. We also enjoy their thin cut pizza because it's still thick enough to hold the toppings but is never burnt on the bottom like other places. The meat is quality too when it comes to the toppings we enjoy the pepperoni and sausage. The only potential negative is the restaurant is always extremely noisy but it's a pizzeria and bar so can't really expect anything different and the food is worth it.“

“Had a wonderful dinner celebrating a friend’s birthday. Great service, excellent food. Just wish it wasn’t so loud and they had more parking.“

“Always greated with friendly staff paired with a fantastic meal and amazing wines. how could you go wrong!?“

“I got the cheddar cheese beef and Omg That was so delicious. I need to go back very soon to get another one.“

“We arrived late and were tired and hungry. Miss Maria was so nice and kind to serve us. My burger and my daughters salmon Caesar salad were wonderful. Miss Maria knew we were stressed out, she was there to take care of us. We were in town for my cousins funeral and Miss Maria was most accommodating of our needs. We returned in the am for a very nice breakfast.“

“Great Food and service! Yummy wine and great Old Fashioned!“

“First time we have been there after they took the restaurant over. Great food and service. We for sure will be back. Might even get our supper club there.“

“You can’t beat the quality of the dishes they make…from scratch!! Best subs in the state and the chicken parmigiana is out of this world. Mike and his boys definitely get hospitality! Go now and get some!!“

“Great atmosphere…pizza was fantastic…They have outdoor dining which is always a plus.“

“The service is FANTASTIC! The food is great (note: we were able to order off of the advertised menu or a lunch/dinner menu which we appreciated). The music was a little loud toward the front of the room but seemed to even out as time went on. The entertainment was absolutely lovely and I highly recommend Rockin' Ravioli to anyone who is looking to celebrate a milestone or for a fun group outing.“

“Love this place! We eat here frequently on Sundays!“

“Little Pops NY Pizzeria Trattoria is a true hidden gem in Lisle, Illinois! From the moment I walked in, I felt like I had stepped into a classic New York pizzeria. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with that perfect blend of charm and nostalgia that instantly reminded me of NYC. The lasagna is absolutely incredible—layers of perfectly cooked pasta, rich and flavorful sauce, and just the right amount of cheese. Every bite was pure comfort food bliss! Of course, their pizza and other Italian dishes are top-notch as well, made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Let's also, not forget about the outstanding Red Velvet Cheesecake! Chefs kiss! Beyond the amazing food, the customer service is outstanding. The staff is friendly, attentive, and truly makes you feel at home. They go above and beyond to ensure a great dining experience. If you're craving authentic New York flavors with a warm and inviting atmosphere, Little Pops is the place to be! I’ll definitely be coming back for more. 🍕❤️“

“Fantastic food, awesome people and highly recommend if you enjoy delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere.“

“As usual, great pizza! Some people, many that I know, say it's better than Giordanos. The crust is thicker and crunchier and the amount of sausage and pepperoni is simply more than Giordanos, but they are both great pizzas! This Schaumburg location is very ample and clean, although a bit outdated in it's decor.“

“As a Chef critic i felt this place had a nice atmosphere and friendly service. I had the impression they were slightly understaffed and looks to be family run. The food was decent, however, the plating and some of the dishes were sloppy. A little pricey for the food that was served. I still gave a 4 star as the waitstaff was friendly and excellent.

Wheelchair accessibility: No“

“4 🌟 due to breadsticks. Otherwise, it would be 3. Service was okay. No italian music where we were sitting. All we were hearing were dishes, loud teens, and the kitchen. I ask the waiter what happened to the music in this section. He said he hadn't noticed but was going to check. Nothing came of it. I turned on italian music on my phone. The couple next to me said good choice. Will not return to this location.“

“Julie and Sandy are the best. I had Delicious slices for lunch and I bought two NY cheesecakes for Thanksgiving“
